Description: ------------ Upgrading Auth from 1.3.0 (stable) to 1.4.0RC3 (beta) with upgrade-all caused PEAR to fail with below error consistently. Calling "pear upgrade Auth" worked fine and subsequent upgrade-all upgraded the rest of my packages without problems.

This bug has been fixed in CVS. If this was a documentation problem, the fix will appear on pear.php.net by the end of next Sunday (CET). If this was a problem with the pear.php.net website, the change should be live shortly. Otherwise, the fix will appear in the package's next release. Thank you for the report and for helping us make PEAR better.

How can I get this fix? I am having the same issue.

Upgrade to the newest version of PEAR (1.5.0RC2). It is an RC and so is marked beta currently. I suggest you simply wait for a stable release and do "pear upgrade Auth" and then do "pear upgrade-all".
